X Suspends Account For โ€œWhite Dudes For Harrisโ€

ย 

Newsweekย reports:

Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.

The automated message when the account was suspended read: โ€œX suspends accounts which violate the X rules.โ€ Mike Nellis, who is involved in the organization, shared an update on Tuesday explaining that while the X account is live again, it still remains suspended.

He said the account is โ€œpermanently in read-only mode,โ€ meaning it cannot post. When contacted by Newsweek for comment, Xโ€™s press office responded: โ€œBusy now, please check back later.โ€

So Twitter is defacto a GOP political asset.

Technically not GOP, but definitely a platform for white racist bigots, Nazis, and other hate-filled bigots. Which, I suppose, is pretty much the same thing nowadays.

I like to combine the old name into the new: Xitter, with the X pronounced as /sh/, because that is exactly what it has become since Musk took over. In a similar fashion, the messages are now xits, with x pronounced the same way

Yes. And both the GOP and Xitter are Kremlin political assets.

He’s an asshole, and should be deported back to South Africa

Priest sues gay hookup app Grindr over data leak

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/258413/priest-sues-gay-hookup-app-grindr-over-data-leak

Msgr BurrillMsgr. Jeffrey Burrill | U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

A priest is suing the gay dating and โ€œhookupโ€ app Grindr after the company reportedly failed to protect his data, leading to his resignation from a top position at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).ย 

In July 2021, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrillย resigned from his postย as the general secretary of the USCCB ahead of a report by The Pillar alleging that he had engaged in inappropriate behavior and frequent use of Grindr.ย 

The app advertises itself as โ€œthe largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people.โ€ Its geolocation feature is popularly known to facilitate sex hookups between gay men.ย 

The Pillar said its report on Burrill was based on โ€œcommercially available recordsโ€ correlated to the priestโ€™s mobile device. But a lawsuit filed this week claims that Grindr hadnโ€™t taken steps to protect the data from third-party acquisition.ย 

The suit,ย filed in the Superior Court of California,ย claims the โ€‹โ€‹group Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal (CLCR) purchased the priestโ€™s data from the app and sent it to The Pillar.ย 

The gay hookup app โ€œassures customersโ€ that it โ€œtakes stepsโ€ to protect data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, the suit says. But Grindr allegedly โ€œknew they were failing to protect sensitive personal data of its customersโ€ yet failed to take steps to protect it, the filing says.ย 

Public reports โ€œreveal a stunning pattern of [Grindrโ€™s] intentional and reckless failure to protect private data of its customers,โ€ the priest argues in the suit.ย 

The company allegedly โ€œfraudulently conceals and fails to disclose that it provides and/or sells its usersโ€™ personal data to ad networks, data vendors, and/or or other third parties that sell the data or otherwise make it commercially available to others.โ€

The suit requests damages, lawyerโ€™s fees, and โ€œinjunctive relief.โ€ It also asks the court to forbid Grindr โ€œfrom committing such unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices.โ€

In 2022 Burrillย returned to active ministryย as a priest in his home diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin, with then-Bishop William Callahan stating that the priest had โ€œengaged in a sincere and prayerful effort to strengthen his priestly vowsโ€ and had โ€œfavorably responded to every requestโ€ made by the bishop and the diocese.

The priest was appointed to St. Teresa of Kolkata Parish in West Salem, where he serves as pastor.ย 

In his lawsuit, Burrill said his reputation had been โ€œdestroyedโ€ by the data leak.ย 

In addition to losing his position at the USCCB, he was โ€œsubjected to significant financial damages and emotional and psychological devastation,โ€ the suit says.ย

Vance Once Told Trans Close Friend โ€œI Hate The Policeโ€

ย 

Theย Daily Beastย reports:

J.D. Vanceโ€™s long friendship with a transgender friend who attended his wedding has been revealedโ€”including how he spoke about hating cops and disparaged Donald Trump and conservative icon Antonin Scalia.

Sofia Nelson, a Yale Law School contemporary of Trumpโ€™s running mate, revealed how they corresponded by text and email for years until falling out over his support for a ban on gender-affirming medical treatment for minors.

In October 2014, after the police killing that summer of Michael Ferguson, an 18-year-old Black man in Ferguson, Missouri, caused widespread protests and violence, Vance wrote to Nelson: โ€œI hate the police. Given the number of negative experiences Iโ€™ve had in the past few years, I canโ€™t imagine what a Black guy goes through.โ€

Theย New York Timesย reports:

The emails, in which Mr. Vance criticizes former President Donald J. Trump both for โ€œracismโ€ and as a โ€œmorally reprehensible human being,โ€ add to an already-existing body of evidence showing Mr. Vanceโ€™s ideological pivot from Never Trumper to Mr. Trumpโ€™s running mate.

And they reflect a young man quite different from the hard-right culture warrior of today who back then brought homemade baked goods to his friend after Nelson underwent transition-related surgery. The visit cemented their bond.

Nelson, now a public defender in Detroit, said they visited each otherโ€™s homes, talked on Zoom during the pandemic and exchanged long emails discussing a range of subjects, from the minutiae of daily life to weighty discussions of current events and public policy issues.

How JD Vance went from thinking he was gay and changing his name twice to being an anti-LGBTQ+ extremistย .

https://www.advocate.com/election/jd-vance-gay-name-change

“Vanceโ€™s opposition to affirming oneโ€™s identity is complicated by his decision to change his name, not once, but twice. He was born James Donald Bowman and took the surname Hamel from his stepfather before finally choosing the name Vance to honor his grandmother, The New York Times reports. Critics argue that Vanceโ€™s childhood experience should have fostered empathy and understanding toward the LGBTQ+ community. Instead, he has used his platform to undermine their rights, leading to accusations of hypocrisy.

The best part of this is Eric, Jr and Tucker Carlson convinced him to choose Vance.
Only the best.
๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

At breakfast today, hubs and I debated the question: “Is there any chance that Trump will dump Vance now that Vance’s past actions and verbal horrors are coming to light?”

I think “yes.” Vance would have to “excuse himself” from remaining as the orange felon’s VP running mate — claiming, perhaps, some family or personal emergency he needs to devote his time to.

This is my first time commenting after reading for 15+ years. This story really resonates with me. I had a best friend through high school and college. We were practically inseparable. He was there for my coming out and a major part of my life. He was always supportive and caring. I was his best man at his wedding along with 2 other gay men were groomsmen. However, 2 years after he married a daughter of a preacher. He was radicalized to the right. He found god and couldnโ€™t bring himself to even come to my wedding because it would offend his god. His entire family came but him. Some can be surprised or saying that Vance is faking heโ€™s opinions but I believe he was just radicalized. I have seen it first hand. Religion is a dangerous tool that has caused so much pain.

Vance Called For Federal Ban On Travel For Abortions

ย 

โ€œLetโ€™s sayย Roe vs. Wadeย is overruled, Ohio bans abortion, you know, in 2022, letโ€™s say 2024, and then every day George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California.

โ€œOf course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity. Thatโ€™s kind of creepy, right? If that happens, do you need some federal response to prevent it from happening because itโ€™s really creepy?

โ€œAnd, you know, Iโ€™m pretty sympathetic to that, actually.โ€ โ€“ J.D. Vance, appearing on the podcast of far-right activist Aimee Terese during his 2022 campaign for the US Senate.

Kevin Roberts, architect of Project 2025, has close ties to radical Catholic group Opus Dei

A complete Christian take over if the US and an attempt to turn society back to 1850s mentality with a 1950s society.ย  And if tRump wins, we all well have to start attending the hate church nearest us.ย  The women in the back, on one side, black people in the back on the other, and white men in front to show their privilege.ย  After church while the men relax the women and girlsย  will be cooking meals.ย  The gays will be converted in camps and if they still have the demon gays, the LGBTQ+, they will be removed from society.ย  ย Hugs.ย  Scottieย 

Heritage Foundation leader has long received spiritual guidance from group and his policy goals align with its teachings

ย 

Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation president and the architect ofย Project 2025, the conservative thinktankโ€™s road map for a second Trump presidency, has close ties and receives regular spiritual guidance from an Opus Dei-led center in Washington DC, a hub of activity for the radical and secretive Catholic group.

Roberts acknowledged in a speech last September that โ€“ for years โ€“ he has visited the Catholic Information Center, a K Street institution headed by an Opus Dei priest and incorporated by the archdiocese of Washington, on a weekly basis for mass and โ€œformationโ€, or religious guidance. Opus Dei also organizes monthly retreats at the CIC.

ย 
In the speech โ€“ which he delivered at the CIC and was recorded and is available onlineย โ€“ Roberts spoke candidly about his strategy for achieving extreme policy goals that he supports but are out of step with the views of a majority of Americans.

Outlawing birth control is the โ€œhardestโ€ political battle facing conservatives in the future, the 50-year-old political strategist said, but he urged conservatives to pursue even small legislative victories โ€“ what he called โ€œradical incrementalismโ€ โ€“ to advance their most rightwing policy objectives.

Robertsย gained notorietyย this year as the leading force behind Project 2025, a foundation plan backed by more than 100 conservative groups that seeks to radically upend a broad range of policies if Trump gets elected again, from limiting abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights andย dismantling the Department of Education, to ending diversity programs and increasing government support for โ€œfertility awarenessโ€ programs, like ovulation tracking and practicing periodic abstinence, instead of more reliable contraception.

But Robertsโ€™ personal ties to Opus Dei and the significance of his affiliation, have received far less attention.

Gareth Gore, the author of aย forthcoming bookย on Opus Dei, called the Catholic organization โ€œa political project shrouded in a veil of spiritualityโ€. The groupโ€™s founder, Saint Josemarรญa Escrivรก, saw his followers as part of a โ€œrising militiaโ€, Gore said, who were seeking to โ€œenter battle against the enemies of Christโ€.

โ€œLike Project 2025, Opus Dei at its core is a reactionary stand against the progressive drift of society,โ€ Gore said. โ€œFor decades now, the organization has thrown its resources at penetrating Washingtonโ€™s political and legal elite โ€“ and finally seems to have succeeded through its close association with men like Kevin Roberts and Leonard Leo.โ€

Leo is a conservative activist who has led the Republican mission to install the rightwing majority in the supreme court andย finances many of the groupsย signed on to Project 2025.

Like Roberts, Leo also has links to the Opus Dei-linked CIC. In a 2022 speech accepting the CICโ€™s highest honor, the John Paul II New Evangelization award, Leo praised the center while also referring to his political opponents as โ€œvile and amoral current day barbarians, secularists and bigotsโ€ who were under the influence of the devil.

Democrats, including Kamala Harris, have beenย sounding the alarm on Project 2025ย to warn voters of what a second Trump administration could do.

โ€œ[Trump] and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we have to take this thing seriously. And can you believe they put that thing in writing?โ€ Harris said this week in her first presidential campaign rally, to laughter. โ€œRead it. Itโ€™s 900 pages.โ€

Trump, for his part, has sought to distance himself from the project, though the people behind it haveย close ties to the former president, and the policies it envisions often align with Trumpโ€™s ideas. Roberts has said he is โ€œgood friendsโ€ with JD Vance, Trumpโ€™s running mate, and Vance has praised Project 2025 as having โ€œsome good ideasโ€. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, also wrote the foreword for Robertsโ€™ย forthcoming book, praising the author for articulating a โ€œgenuinely new future for conservatismโ€.

โ€œWe are now all realizing that itโ€™s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon,โ€ Vance wrote.

Opus Dei does not disclose the names of its members. The groupโ€™s roots date back to a century ago, when the group was established in Spain in response to a clash between conservative Catholics and anti-Catholic socialism and communism in Spain. Decades later, the group was granted special status by the conservative pope John Paul II, who supported Opus Dei and saw it as a response to the rise of liberation theology in Latin America, a progressive church movement.

Some of Opus Deiโ€™s special rights were revoked in recent years by Pope Francis, who is seen as a more progressive pontiff.

One of the core tenets of Opus Dei is that it does not believe in the traditional separation of church and state. Instead, said Massimo Faggioli, a professor of theology and religious studies at Villanova University, it believes the two ought to have a symbiotic relationship.

โ€œThey are secretive, so while they are not [outwardly] part of this [Project 2025] per se, it is not surprising at all that some of their members are part of it. They see this moment in politics โ€“ and the possibility of allowing โ€˜woke ideologyโ€™ to win โ€“ as fundamentally changing the nature of America, western civilization andย Christianity,โ€ Faggioli said.

He added: โ€œOpus Dei is part of [a movement of] US conservative and traditionalistย Catholicismย that holds a view that the United States is the last bastion of Christendom, so that if the United States goes a certain way, so goes Christianity, and Catholicism.โ€

Indeed Roberts made it clear earlier this month that he believes the US is at a crossroads, and โ€œin the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to beโ€.

Asked whether it had a view on Robertsโ€™ remarks or Project 2025, a spokesperson for Opus Dei told the Guardian in a statement: โ€œOpus Dei is an institution of the Catholic Church that tries to help people come closer to God in their work and everyday lives. Opus Deiโ€™s aims are purely spiritual and it does not endorse or have any opinion on any political project of any kind.โ€

Opus Dei is controversial not only in the US. Dozens of women from Argentina and Paraguay filed a complaint to the Vaticanย over labor exploitation and abuses of powerย they say they experienced after joining the group at sites in multiple countries. Andย reporting in Australiaย gave insight into schools run by Opus Dei, where former students allege their education left them with โ€œpsychological damageโ€.

Robertsโ€™ personal background suggests his ties to Opus Dei are not just limited to the CIC. A school founded by Roberts in Louisiana, called John Paul the Great Academy, considers Opus Dei-founder Escrivรก its โ€œpatronโ€.

Roberts was also involved in an Opus Dei-affiliated high school leadership program in Austin, Texas. A website that tracks Opus Dei menโ€™s activities called Where You Are included a profile of the high school program in Austin where Roberts appears to volunteer and โ€œcontributes significantly โ€œ to the schoolโ€™s career and leadership program.

Roberts was featured as a guest at another Opus Dei-linked school, the Camino Schools, in 2023. In introductory remarks before Roberts spoke, the schoolโ€™s chairman, Bob Rose, praised schools that teach boys and girls they are โ€œdifferentโ€, they learn differently and are inspired by different things, and where boys are taught by โ€œmanly menโ€ who serve as role models.

Robertsโ€™ critics said concerns about his ties to Opus Dei were not connected to his identity or beliefs as a Roman Catholic.

โ€œKevin Roberts, like all Americans, has a guaranteed freedom to worship or not under our constitution,โ€ said Lisa Graves, co-founder of Court Accountability, a non-partisan group that seeks to combat judicial corruption.โ€ That is not at issue. What is of concern is how some powerful elites, like Roberts, who have failed to persuade the American people to embrace their agenda, seem eager to use the power of the executive branch to impose their personal religious views as binding law on other Americans โ€“ by barring abortion, using the government to endorse the rhythm method of contraception, even banning mention of โ€˜condomsโ€™ in womenโ€™s preventative health, as well as assailing the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.โ€

Heritage did not respond to a request for comment. The CIC did not respond to a request for comment.

During Robertsโ€™ September 2023 speech, which received little notice at the time but is posted on the centerโ€™s YouTube page, Roberts detailed how conservative Catholics and their allies could advance US policy to end access to abortion, same-sex marriage and contraception.

Knowing the unpopularity of banning birth control โ€“ a harder political battle to wage than advancing anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage policies โ€“ he encouraged an incremental approach to pursuing this long-term goal.

โ€œEven in a politically conservative setting, that can be a very difficult thing to advance,โ€ Roberts told attendees at the CIC event. โ€œA majority of Roman Catholics donโ€™t believe in that teaching, if public opinion surveys are the case. And so it makes it very difficult to advocate for that.โ€

The faithful should practice the โ€œgift of discernmentโ€ to know when to bring it up: โ€œSometimes the right thing at the right time to the right person isnโ€™t the full teaching of humanity, right? It isnโ€™t the full teaching of contraception. And recognizing that thatโ€™s not the time is no way turning into Judas. In fact, itโ€™s being apostolic. And the very definition of the word, which is in modern common parlance, meeting someone where they are.โ€

In espousing his theory of โ€œradical incrementalismโ€, or what he called the โ€œenchilada theoryโ€, he said it was critical for conservatives to work first to achieve a small part of a larger policy goal based on whatโ€™s politically possible at the moment. Sometimes, he said, having even half an enchilada could be a victory.

On abortion, he noted that Roman Catholics believe โ€œno abortion can be morally justifiedโ€, but that even in conservative circles in the US, this is not a majority opinion, and itโ€™s an โ€œeven more difficult position to holdโ€ after the Dobbs decision. Using the โ€œsame vocabulary of our faithโ€ in the policy arena has a negative effect on electoral outcomes, he said.

Roberts advised listeners not to accept the โ€œnarrative framing of the other sideโ€ on these issues. He said conservatives who are anti-abortion should stop talking about it the way the left wants them to and instead โ€œtalk about the fact that many of them want abortion to be legal until birthโ€.

Strategies of incrementalism and narrative framing donโ€™t always apply, he added, because sometimes you just have to fight.

โ€œRight now, we have to fight on religious liberty and, in particular, religious liberty as it relates to protecting institutions of faith,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd thatโ€™s not a time for strategic retreat. Itโ€™s not a time to be savvy, itโ€™s not a time to be sweet. Itโ€™s not a time to develop friendships with the other side. It is a time to take our fist โ€“ figuratively, Father Charles โ€“ and bust them in the nose because they hate what you and I believe.โ€

A look inside the criminal probe that targeted Texas librarians

I should explain

Hello Everyone.ย  As everyone knows my blog means a lot to me, I have used blogging the friends it brought me as a help against all the bad memories I have in my life.ย  But for the last three weeks I couldn’t really do the blog and today at nearly 1 pm, after being at the computer since 3:30 am, I am just now starting to get to the comments I love.ย ย 

I went to bed yesterday after a grand meal of a steak and large salad.ย  Even though I did not finish all the steak but did eat the entire salad is because I just don’t eat like I use to, I now eat like an older person.ย  But it was great and grand.ย  But after, I went to bed about four pm.ย ย 

I woke on and off until 1:30.ย  I tried to go back to sleep but at 3 am Ron’s rescue cat tummy feed me alarm went off so I got up to feed him.ย  At 3:30 I got to my computers.ย  Then I went to the Male survivor site.ย  I found I had several private messages and a bunch of replies to what I wrote before.ย  Plus there were 20 more posts.ย  I read them and replied to those I had something to add to the thread.ย  Plus it is not just one person, every person is adding their thoughts and we all add our responses to them.ย  It took me until 10 am this morning to clear it all out.ย  Then I had to lay down and I slept for an hour and half.ย ย 

When I got up, I went to the admin on my blog and checked the posts from Ali and Randy.ย  I set them up in tabs to like, add comments to, or just read.ย  I love that both Ail and Randy are adding their thoughts here.ย  First it makes sure there is content when I can not get to it, and second what they both post is their ideas, their concerns, and different from what I might post.ย  As Ron says it broadens the blog to give a far more diverse reason for people to come visit.ย  ย Not to steal from the Christian or other holy books, but I looked on it and find it good.ย  ย ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

I have been feeling dragged out and tired.ย  But I am hoping as the cold fades and I have more energy I can do better at handling both the blog and the other sites.ย  I hate the feeling that there is simply not enough of me, and both Ron and Randy are worried about the time I am spending on the abuse site, immersed in others abuse and reliving mine.ย  They are afraid it will cause me a relapse into depression on my own abuse.ย  Yes it is possible I have already had bad dreams and been fighting that at night.ย  ย 

One guy was abducted at age 7, tortured and abused to be made a sex toy for a cult leader.ย  Scary stuff, after a few years he was rescued, but still finds himself hitting himself if he doesn’t refer to the guy who abused him as master.ย  He hits himself before he can stop it. Then he simply gave himself to anyone who demanded it or told him to please him. As a teen and young adult he simply lived in a house with no clothing thinking he had a boyfriend who loved him, but instead the guy would invite friends over and they used him when ever they felt like it.ย  ย He got to the point that no matter what he was doing guys who were friends with his “boyfriend” simply would grab him and fuck him or tell him to drop down to suck them off.ย  I understand the trained behavior, I was trained to it also.ย  But most of mine stopped when the hell spawn left the house, only the adults were left to use me and occasionally the hell spawn came back or took me to their home to service them.ย  One took me out in his semi and forced me to “please” him when he parked in a truck stop.ย  I was an adult maybe 26 and still had not learned to tell them no.ย  I never went out in his truck again no matter how much he tried to get me to.ย  ย 

The victim and I spend hours talking, writing back and forth.ย  He wants more like a video call or phone call, but I have explained to him those things trigger me.ย  ย Even now at 61 there are only two people in my life I feel comfortable / OK talking to on the phone, I still resonate with the beatings to never touch a phone as a child.ย  I do much better on a computer or video app on the phone like FaceTime, because I don’t have to look like I am holding a phone to myself, getting open for an angry beating.ย  But with ear buds it works also.ย 

So right now I am tired.ย  Again, I am going to lay down a few minutes because I can not finish this, my eyes are crossing.ย  Yhrrn —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Several hours later …ย  ย I just got up.ย  ย What happened is along with my normal medication I took a med my doctor wanted me to try that is also given to MS patients.ย  Ron has it at a much smaller dose.ย  He wanted me to try it with my other when my muscles hurt or spasms more than I could stand with my regular medication.ย  I took a half one.ย  When it kicked in, my eyes crossed and I felt so tired, needing to lay down.ย  Once the med cleared my system after a few hours I feel fine again but I will say my pain and spasms are much better.ย  I got so foggy I wrote the last above the line before I went to bed.ย  I decided to leave it in.ย  ย 

So the day is gone by, I have not posted or replied to comments, I have not helped Ron much around the house.ย  I plan to make a sauce tomorrow.ย  I did not even post my meme post this week, but I have not added to it in four days until today.ย  So I think I will hold it a few days, or at least until tomorrow afternoon.ย ย 

I thank everyone for hanging on here, to listening to me, Ali, or Randy.ย  I feel so much better since I got up, I am going to go to the blog and reply to comments that are there I have not lost yet.ย  As always to those who posted a comment I missed, reposted it or use my email listed to get my attention to it.ย  Know I love you.ย  This is a minor hiccup that is going to work itself out soon.ย  ย Hugs.ย  Scottie
